Our Memorial Day weekend was amazing. Relaxing and laid-back but somehow we still managed to get a ton of things done without it feeling like it. Friday we made a whole bunch of food to snack on throughout the weekend: homemade guac and bruschetta, grilled pizzas, my most favorite caprese pasta salad, healthy egg salad and a massive container of fruit salad. It was amazing and I'm kind of surprised I didn't gain a lot more weight! Monday and Tuesday were HOT and the reality of being pregnant in the summer was a fun slap in the face. So hot and humid that just being outside made me short of breath. I am so grateful for the deliciousness of AC!
Husband volunteered to snap this week's photo while I was lounging with him outside while he grilled last night's dinner. I think this was the most I wore all weekend!
Weight gain: 14 pounds
Maternity Clothes: Nope, summer dresses for the win.
Gender: Girl!
Name: it's a surprise!
Movement: All the time. She has definitely dropped in the last week and a half and that has made some of the movement quite uncomfortable. I am still at the point though where I love it all.
Cravings: Not really a result of the pregnancy but more because of the insane heat. Ice cream has totally been hitting the spot. Cookie crusted drumsticks and Toasted Almond bars plus my absolute favorite ice cream ever: Blue Bunny Homemade Vanilla Ice cream scooped on top of 3 fresh peaches. It's practically a meal! :)
Sleep: Pretty good actually. I think I've adjusted to the fading in and out plus my current pillow configuration is working out really nicely.
# of Days since m/s has hit: 0, totally got sick after eating the most delicious Wegmans bagel in the morning.
What I'm most looking forward to after the baby (besides the obvious): being able to breath in the heat.
Last baby items purchased: Hubs and I hit a gold mine of books over the weekend at Goodwill. Little Golden books, Berenstein Bears, Curious George (an entire hardback set of 10+ for mere pennies) and a mini Children's bible board book were just a few of our finds. We also picked up her lamp and frames for her room. All that's left now is a few small craft projects!
Other Craziness: Most people are shocked at my size when they hear I am in my third trimester, I don't think being told how small I look will ever get old. Certain co-workers have made it a point to let me know how big I am looking (so not true-even I know that I am carrying small right now) so I guess it all balances out. As long as baby girl is growing healthy, I don't care how "small" I look. Right now it feels like its a that sweet spot of just big enough but not too big.

You look great! So you are 28ish weeks now? I'm still dying to know how you found out, especially with the guessing on how many weeks you are!
